At the Annual General
Meeting held at the Mount Gambier National Convention in 1983 a member
suggested that we should elect a Life Member.

After a very enthusiastic
discussion it was decided to accept the suggestion and the meeting voted
to elect PIC Syd Packham as the first Life
Member. Syd was a District Governor in 1955/56 and is the longest
serving member of our Association.

Since the Annual Meeting in
Mount Gambier new Life Member/s is/are elected each year. Nominations are
called from members in accordance with set criteria. The three Officers
of the Association then examine the nominations and declare the new
member/s at the Annual General Meeting.
